Nuclear Science and Engineering

Nuclear science and engineering study the properties of atomic nuclei and how they can be used to generate energy and other applications. It involves understanding nuclear reactions, such as splitting atoms (fission) or combining them (fusion), to produce heat and power. This field also addresses safety, radiation management, and radioactive materials. Nuclear engineering is used in power plants to produce electricity, in medicine for imaging and treatments, and in industry for material testing. Overall, it’s a discipline focused on harnessing nuclear processes responsibly and efficiently for beneficial technological and energy solutions.
